THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Historical Society State House VOLUME IX. Negro Business Le Booker T. Wash Over Three T --- Owing to a late train President Washington did not call the eight annual meeting of the National Negro Business Mens League. It was a large crowd gathered from many states, that greeted the distinguished visitors. No time was spent in preliminary arrangements. In lieu of the first Mikan Baptist Church, connected devotional exercises, It O'Louis First Visi Presidental assumed the chair. He expressed regret that the conference was not present and that, too, an interesting letter of note. As a top executive of the Governor he is privileged to A. W. Neil, State Printp. who was the delegate to harrass. Fire and burgl. Had the problem been resolved—suppose the Negro had been the dominant power, and let hold the white man in oppression—would you have more time? Though you have all the necessary skills, you are not the fullest man of public prejudice. But in manhood it is the only. In the civil instru- ment present, it blacks are considering the hands with which they have had to control, it has made wonderful pro- gress. Conditions in rapidly improving as shown by the recent states of Wil- hame over Vandown in Mississippi, the margin was small, but it all helps. Mrs. William Goren of Ipswich, was introduced and welcomed the delegates to a city so famous that he is open to them and to known lions of the city and to the accomplishments of which you have so nobly assisted. It was a great pleasure to welcome you this city. You are now engaged in the north work of upholding of your fellow man. We trust that you will have a pleasant and profitable meeting. Hon. of a courtman representing the Hopka Commercial Club, sent in part I have here only to make a few remarks on behalf of Hopka I intended telling you something about our problems crops. If the great wheat crop at Kansas was made into a doughnut the eleven million acres of America could start in the shade of it and if they pre-empted to eat them we out the race problem would be solved success in life is an individual problem Man is the architect of his own fortune and it is poor economy to be a soldier. If, James H. Gou, on behalf of the Negro Business League, those who have predeceased know that the world of welcome comes from all the people whom they represent in coming to Kansas you have fulfilled better than you know. Kansas insisted on coming into the Union tree. The colored people of Iowa peaks are the most industrious on earth. There is no longer a race problem in the problem of the individuals and in Negroes of Iowa labor as such they welcome you. Dr. Washington assumed the chair and in a few will have a work to introduce Judge W. W. Woolfson, of Little Rock, Mo. Judge Garth said I have been asked about among here today, because of the allusions to my state. Not I am proud to be here and all anything to the reputation your great state has made. I remember when your state was the light of liberty. We are glad to be here and I am prophesy that when we go away we can say it is good to be here. Hon R. L. Smith of Texas, in responding to the welcome, and every body receives that on the soil of Kansas all are welcome. We cannot forget that this is the state of the old hero of the swatomite. The best of the blacks bring greetings to the best of the white. We are on the right road and if we but keep on the road of industrial commercial educational and moral development we will reach the goal of social success. It is good to be here. The spirit of John Brown of Swatomite was on the meeting and at the suggestion of Hon R. L. Fortune of the New York Age, Ht Reverend Bishop Grant invoked divine blessing. David Lipton of Impully spoke for twenty minutes in the question of Twenty Years to a House Noor. The greatest question to his wise, and he was and compares in the great struggle It is no longer a question at all but one of ability. My color was not been a hindrance. He referred to the recent moving of his houses at Parsons for the M. K. & F. Railroad. In all his work in her the resistance of his son. He is now engaged in a difficult job and I want him to work it out himself. It will give him the confidence of the people. It was brought out on questioning that Mr. Lippon had $400 invested in business, and employed twelve persons. The chair reported four new life members. P. L. M. Daniel, of McMahon, L. L. M. Wright, Lopez, G. C. Grow, at Lafayetteville, Knox, R. C. Owens, Los Angeles, Calif. M W JUNIOR, of Indianapolis, Ind. told of his skole, gravel tooting and contri- tory.

In a well-chosen and elegant operas, the providing elder introduced Dr. Washington the principal speaker of the evening. This league was formed for the purpose of providing business enterprise with what you have a complained of anything you will be glally welcomed to our platform. I am often asked by the people making in the North, how you can best help us of the South to succeed and I immediately answer, help yourself. Success is at your door. No power on earth can make a weak man a strong one. Another object of this league is to emphasize our opportunities. The other fellow will tell us of our dead antiques. There used to be a question as to whether or not the Negro could be educated—that is, in the ordinary sense in which we understand education there is no longer any such question in the minds of our people whose opinions are worth considering. There is a question yet remaining and one that is constantly being debated as to what extent Negroes can be using and be skilled of using education as to meet his productive needs and in distributing the products of the world. Keep in that during this time years to American that has incurred the world that he could be educated in literature, science, mathematics, art. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 16, 1947. in the professions. We have won this victory by depending upon empty talk not by building upon abstract argument not by abuse of science but by a really doing the thing by living every public school. Every cell government or institution and professional school has ever been opened for us. We want this victory by having larger object lessons in every part of the United States that within them serve indisputable evidence of our ability to receive education. When proof is asked of our ability to give education we can point to the little bareheaded and barefooted pickin' in the Mississippi log cabin school or we can point to the Negro south in cap and gown in Oxford University (England) so much is settled, but as I have said there is still debate and question as to what extent we have ability to apply our education to all concerns of common life—to bring to bear the force of our education upon the soil, imbane household arts, manufacturing trades and in the matters that concern people living. In this may be said in worthless field may be made of worthless or not finding the markets of the world valuable. Now we are of the objects sought to be completed by the National Negro Bank now begun to help the Negro a war in time will that be cannily live it in but to be in it longing to out the world housekeeping more in this place to be situated in mong the town notthing this have so long installed its eight first place at will include that it is not community and out at Washington you in illustration this organization instance trade in Negro banks in people stores almost always have it given to them.

It is the largest the country with the writing the same kind in the in their communities in the Nation and their business league. But most of this is the agent in people and the determination of our people. Pass to the world our institutions and citizens in our community where we serve that is encouraging. Disproportion talk the Negro is not discouraged, but is going toward the own toes on a message that is equal to the unborn facing the first and highest Negro is more and more house and industry than ever before in the world. We are learning that the people and unites that we get man's out of that soil or any other out of it. We are learning that we must be humbled at what we will since now. In proportion as we learn this beaten in the same proportion will we find help at the south and the North. We must not be content to merely tolerated in communities we must make ourselves well. The great civil laws that govern the universe know no moral or color lines. Man may discriminate, but nature and the contract laws that control commerce and markets will not and cannot understand all point of educational and even moral and religious progress there are certain economic laws which every person must comply with that would be classed among the successful races of earth. The great battle city of our sea which should be sounded in every part of the land is "overcome evil with good overcome failure with success, overcome injustice with humiliation overcome doubt with high endeavor, overcome shatteredness with high achievement. There is something in human nature that compels respect for success in galless of race or color. It history teaches any one lesson more thoroughly than any other is that successful effort in constructive productive work is what counts in putting a face upon the test.

Eight years ago Dr Booker I Washington, the Wizard of Tuskegee, organized a National Negro Business Men's League for the purpose of arousing among our people an interest in the commercial development of the country. It has conserved year after year in various Eastern and Southern cities, and now far the first time in its history comes to the great and mighty West. It comes to Kansas the center of Negro development of the West, in the dark and bloody ground upon which the titan struggle for human liberty was begun. Kansas has always been in the history of the world. It was the whispered stories of this fabled Golconda that brought the dreamer Columbus from the shores of Gonza. It was the stories of its green pastures, seeming with maize and buffalo that lured Colorado from the gulf to waste ears in wandering. It was the same stories of generous plenty, intermingled with the golden thread of liberty that brought the down trodden exoduster from the South to enjoy peace and plenty beneath his vine and fig tree out on the plains of Kansas. And the story can never be told, of the transformed exoduster into the highly respected and honored citizen of the greatest state in the greatest nation of the world. Thousands of acres of land yield their fruits in season to the cunning of the sable Kansan's hand. Thousands of homes in our towns and cities tell you that the idler and the slothful are absentees. Kansas hospitality is as boundless as her wealth. And as our doors swing inward, our waving helds of corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley; our lowing herds and fattening kine, the humming wheels of our myriad industries, all join in the sublimely cordial anthem of welcome weing to the strangers within our gate" Toneka and all Kansas welcome the workers and doers of our race they will bring on war Night and the white man becoming a power in New Philadelphia the white press are much to do with the running of these tests of stopping the destroying and disconturing them on their hand and by also encouraging the institution to build races — the thoughtless Messenger Reform in Georgia Robin legislation used to meet the citizens and helpful foundation for all the people, and special privileges to them under the present regime at the state capital in most special favors for whose people and the downright outlaws at the black man rights — All data does not present Supc1 Twenty Years For one cannot think more a mistake by waiting were instead of "months," Rhona Baines, a Negro and served at most 60 years in the Alabama prison trust. The sentence should only have been a month. The girl was sent to a prison when 12 years ago for four years she remained in the prison for 60 years until her death from typhoid fever and while serving her sentence in prison she was born in the city. People who whom our mother worked became interested in the case and looked it up when they became aware that she had been made but too late to help the girl. A mother is now old and ill and has had a bill presented to the legislature to have the state pay for the latter in time she served and what she should have served. Black Justice I am the first pair of Negroes ever called in this district county. We recently tried to color it in Augusta. The judge and prosecution attested were the only white men in the room. The defendant was in guilty and given six months sentence.

The first of the great African American conversion Tepela was opened at the State House yesterday. Delegates were slow in arriving due to strike and a walkout. But enough were on the ground to enable President Duncan to call the meeting to order and do the preliminary work. Albert Loez, editor of the Quindare Upstreet, was made secretary. President Duncan very briefly reviewed the work of the press of our race and the importance of impressing it upon the people. He appointed the following a Committee on Credentials: Albert Rose, P. J.

This is the eleventh annual session since the perfection of this organization and at your last meeting held in the little city of Colorado Springs the city of spared homes, excellent schools, beautiful women and manly men, your humble servant was chosen for the second time, at your executive and I must say that I have not words at my command to express to you my appreciation. I have endeavored to keep before the newspapers in our territory the most important public matters that have arisen from time to time, especially those that would affect our people as a whole. I have keenly observed that my purpose has been somewhat bandwrapped owing to the fact that we have failed to live up to our agreement entered into in this city in 1900. The agreement I refer to was the establishment of a news bureau to be supported by the members of the Association. You active newspaper men know as well as I do and probablyetter that from a visual point of view we will be an externer derived a measure at the harbour more accurate white gathering agencies, at present dominated by a certain extent of men whose ideas are so extremely Southern, whose minds are so cluded with race prejudice that it is almost impossible to get a true and correct statement of the proceedings of the many gatherings that we are constantly holding every year for the purpose of improving our present racial condition. If we expect to succeed in making ourselves felt to that degree of power that is no necessary toward building up a strong and powerful organization, we certainly must concentrate our efforts along the lines of constructive journalism and not so much on the destructive order. ladres and gentlemen of the Western Negro Press Association, you have met in this beautiful month of August in one of the fairest cities in one of the greatest states of all the sisterhood of states. While all sections of the West have brilliant prospects for the future, the outlook for the future of hansar is exceptionally bright. This state is under land with rich veins of real copper and lead its coal wells are unorganized in the world, our oil supply is limited to supply the world by our oil supply with spendable of the great power of our national want in this city in it.

You have in the past few years to your shame and to the overlasting disgrace of the bourg and departed heroes, joined hands with many of the Southern belles; that is you have perm and to be established certain im- mute war that will eventually prove to be to your document. I hope Kansas, with its articulent, brave and patriotic men and women of our race, will com- bine with the conservative, philanthropic, fair-minded men and women of the white race and will never permit this fair state to be classed in the same cat- agine with the unprogressive states south of the Mason and Dixon line. I say again, ladies and gentlemen, it depends altogether upon your future conduct as to the results affecting your standing as American citizens. The politicians tell us that the ballot is the only effective weapon for any free people. You have the ballot in Kansas and in the West. Can you and will you protect yourself? Our newspapers are loud in their area for justice and a square deal, and I know of no agency unless it be the ministry that is doing so much for the upstart of the race as the poorly paid Negro newspaper editor. If he does not write up every social function given in your city and elaborate it to the extent of perjuining himself, he is called slow and termed an ingrate. If he fails to get his paper out on time, he is called a cheap shate. If you fail to pay him your subscription when due he must not dun you. If he fails to print the name of every hero who happens to to town detected by the brake. Furnished Rooms 50c Up. Meals 0 Cents Up. ```markdown ``` DO YOU CARRY LOVE?

THE MASTER If the Negro is to look to some of the leaders for inspiration he will never make any progress in this country, but will always be 'the under fellow.' knocked and kicked around at will by all other races and nations. Some men forget that the Negra is higher than a political political position. Col Fred R Moore, editor of the Colored American Magazine, in his address before the Western Press association played to the prejudice of the white people by declaring that there was no "kick due the Negro on Jim Crow sm until he had money with which to ggbt the issues." This is a country where every citizen with a ballot in his hands is prepared to protect himself, and because he is without a dollar is no reason why he should not be a man. Let the Negro stand up and protest against wrongs heaped upon him, and ever be ready to defend his rights. It he will do this, he will be respected by others. If Brother Moore wants a political plum, he should get it on merit and manhood, and not sell out his race for it. The Negroes of Kansas are against Jim Crowism in every phase and they intend to let President and every ather man know this. Let Brother Moore take his toadvism to New York. THE CLEVER AND GAETHE has a good story on Corvine Patterson, the popular street commissioner of Kansas City. If Patterson were not such a good friend of ours, we would spring one too. The telegraphers throughout the country are out on a strike. Tell the Negroes to learn a little telegraphy along with other industries it won't hurt him, and opportunity may knock at his door.

Specially is his valuable to the business men of our city. He points out the leak and compels the careful business man to change his methods on line of business. Nigro business men should submit all schemes to the careful analysis of a competent accountant. We are creating banks and large enter- prises and becoming capitalists and the demand for careful management grows greater each day. The failure of one of our banks in large business matters would no doubt be disaster upon similar institutions operated by men of our time.

Temper, nerves, selfishness, and longings, ambitions and desires, all insisting to have a hearing, and down steps wisdom and orders control.

The out of town guests were Miss Victori Overall of Kansas City, Mo. Miss Curney of Jefferson City, Mo. Miss Carter of Macon, Mo. The guest's were served some of the most appealing, refreshing delicacies. The Misses James entertained on Thursday of last week complimentary to the Misses Lorg of Gathre, Okla. The Misses James reside about ten miles northeast of the city. A number of the guests were town fours, some of whom were conveyed to the James farm in a ry rack. A very enjoyable time was had by everyone. Quite a number of games which the country only can afford were played; also quite an elaborate men t was served.

I have get need of the hour is more trades and skilled art sans in the col and race. The present strike on the telegraph operators indicates that the class of men are against young colored men learning how to manipulate the keys that flash the news over the country. It is the bounden duty of the industrial schools of the country to teach telegraphy to the students, thereby fitting them for this profession as well as having them in readiness for such occasions as exist at this time. We hope that such educators as Prof Booker T. Washington and Prof W. T. Vernon will move rapidly in this direction, the sooner the letter. There is too much carelessness and neglect on the part of the parents to force their children to learn such trades as will make them master of a situation that may confront them. Rev. and Miss.

You may know all the trades in the world but if you have not land, you become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal The report from Mississippi that Congressman John Sharp Williams has defeated Governor Vardaman for United States Senator has been confirmed, and it is the best news that has come out of that state in many years. Governor Vardaman represents the worst type of Southern politicians, a rank demagogue and Negro hatter of the Tillman type, who trades on the prejudices and passions of the lower class of white people to gun office. It is inconceivable that Vardaman, if he is anything but an uncontrollable brute, can be sincere in his extreme Negrophobia and his professed hatter of the national government. The Southern people of the educated classes are not the Negro haters that many in the North support the to be. Through all of the years of their poverty the Southerners have to bear the heavy load upon themselves to maintain Negro schools; the state of Mississippi, for example, providing for more grammar schools for Negroes than for white children, and maintaining two Negro universities, one industrial and one collegiate, while there is but a single university in the state for whites. The only point upon which any harsh feeling arises towards the Negroes, while from politics, is up on the question of social equality, and the Southern people are firmly determined to prevent the first step being taken looking to such continuity. This being the case, it is hardly likely that Vardaman is bitter towards the Negro as he professes to be. He merely believed it an easy route to office to play upon the passions of the poorer class of whites, many of whom cannot read or write, and to instigate their minds with sensationrl speech; as such as Senator Tillman finds it frontale to make on Northern lecture platforms. At all events, the fact that Williams has beaten Vardaman on the issue invoked by the latter—of sending a Senator to the United States Senate to advocate the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment granting the Negro the right to vote, and of providing only such schools for the Negroes it can be supported by taxes paid by Negroes—in almost encouraging sign of returning mania on the part of those who have bitterte supported Vardaman, and of the conservation and good sense of the people of Mississippi generally. Vardaman ought to have been repudiated long ago and doubtless would have been if his mouthings had reached the point of making a definite issue, as he has in the recent campaign. Congressman Williams is a Southerner of the higher type, a gentleman by birth, a scholar of wide erudition acquired in the best schools of Europe, and a patriotic citizen of the modern Southern school. He has had thorough training as leader of the Democratic minority in the lower house, and will doubtless do his state good service in the Senate,—Exchange.
